What goes well with pancakes?

Pancakes

With pancakes I was brought up on a sugar and lemon juice fill, since then I have tried maple syrup, raspberries and cream, gooseberries,

But given the diabetes angle what goes well with pancakes?

 

[Steff]

how about adding oatmeal or almond extract or nutmeg?

Sugar, lemon juice and maple syrup goes quite nicely 🙄 😛

I could imagine trying to fill cold pancakes with something like cream and berries, but I don't think it would work. Perhaps a lower GI sugar?

Additives

I HAVE NEVER THOUGHT OF ADDING OATMEAL TO THE MIX OR NUTMEG WILL HAVE TO GIVE IT A TRY I THINK THAT WE TRIED ALMOND BUT NOT SURE

low gi sugar

I have wondered about a dark sugar but was assuming that the lemon juice would break it down anyway? and that lemon juice and sugar may not be that good for me --- but I like lemon juice and sugar!

You could try lemon juice and Splenda or one of the other sugar substitutes, if you must have pancakes! Are you not reducing your carb intake?

P.S. Andrew, writing in all capitals is considered shouting.

this is for when

Hi No intention of shouting key stuck free now.

I do not tend to do sugar substitutes i just go without.

it is ages since I did pancakes so before i get the urge i want ideas!

I found that wholemeal flour did not work and after this morning the urge seems to have dropped off a bit

I kinda hsitate to suggest this, hope Northie doesn't take a fence, but here goes anyway.

There are shedloads of low-carb high satisfaction recipes (though not necessarily low cal, low fat or low anything else) over at www.diabetes-support.org.uk and one of them is a pancake recipe made with ground almonds.

They make small pancakes, not unlike a drop-scone and they can easily be eaten with berries and cream ....scrummy! But a 'crepe' type pancake, they ain't.

Thank you

Thankyou I will have a look
